Walmart leaks Switch game Team Sonic Racing • Eurogamer.net

UPDATE: And it’s official. Team Sonic Racing is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One this winter, with Sumo Digital focussing on the Sonic universe in a racer that places an emphasis on playing as a team. It’ll support 12 players online with four-player splitscreen on all formats, and will also feature customisation, Wisps borrowed from Sonic Colours that enable power-ups and an Adventure Mode for a single-player experience. 15 characters will be present at launch, and you’ll be working in tandem with your team to win events. We’ll have a little more in the not-too-distant future, but for now sate yourself with this announcement trailer.

The product listing – provided by the video gaming version of Varys, Nibellion – touts 12-player online and four-player offline, split-screen multiplayer; a story mode; 15 playable characters separated into three classes (speed, technique, power); team racing with special team moves; and all the power-ups and car customisation you may already expect.

It’s about time – evidence of a new Sumo-developed Sonic racer has been building for a while. First it was via leaked internal slides at Sumo, then toymaker Zappies (I’ve never heard of it either) talked about a new line of toys for an unannounced Sonic racing game.
